Chapter Summaries

Li Zhi cultivated the Great Dao of Eternal Longevity on a dead star in the Outer Realm Starry Sky, where his power revived the planet and drew the Ten Thousand Daos’ suppression. After overcoming repeated tribulations, he became a Dao Slaying King, and the Ten Thousand Daos moved to suppress him.

• Li Zhi left Dongfang Ye behind and departed the Primordial Battlefield, planning to cultivate before severing the Dao.
• Li Zhi chose a dead rocky planet in the Outer Realm Starry Sky for secluded cultivation, and his Great Dao Laws awakened its core and brought life to its surface.
• A Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Sea and Thunder Pool attacked the revived planet, but its Star Chart refined the first nine bolts into life essence, while a golden palm refined Lightning Spears into Law Fragments.
• Li Zhi emerged from the star’s core and endured the Thunder Pool’s Law Pillars, devouring their fragments and growing until he destroyed the Thunder Sea and Thunder Pool.
• Li Zhi returned to human form, broke through from Great Power to Dao Slaying King, and drew the Ten Thousand Daos’ suppression.

Li Zhi endured successive battles against Immortal Spirit Cubs summoned by his Dao Slaying Heavenly Tribulation, while their powerful laws wounded him and threatened his Dao. After defeating the Vermilion Bird with the White Bone Immortal Slaying Saber, he waited in the starry sky, but the Heavenly Tribulation’s watchful presence remained.

• Li Zhi fought the Crimson True Dragon for a day and a night, growing stronger before it vanished and left law fragments embedded in his wounds.
• Li Zhi defeated the Blue Qilin, then spent a day grinding the Black Tortoise down before facing the Heavenly Phoenix, leaving him gravely wounded and nearly exhausted.
• Li Zhi used the Saint Spirit Life-Replacing Art to sacrifice the emerging deities within his four Dao Artifacts, restoring his vitality by absorbing their origin essence and the starry sky’s energy.
• Li Zhi battled the Vermilion Bird with the White Bone Immortal Slaying Saber and severed its head after a day and a night, then smelted its Fire Dao Laws into the cracked saber.
• Li Zhi recovered for two days without another Immortal Spirit appearing, but he still sensed the Heavenly Tribulation watching him.

Li Zhi survived the final Dao Severing tribulation by smelting its last Immortal Spirits, then fell into a deep slumber inside the Life Divine Coffin as it reached the Ancient Beidou Star. Meanwhile, Luo Xingchen took control of the Star Sect and prepared to hold a Star Falling Ceremony.

• Li Zhi battled the White Tiger, Green Emperor's Dharma Body, and ten Three-legged Golden Crows for ten days, destroying the surrounding star system before exhausting them.
• After the Nine-headed Strange Bird joined the fight, Li Zhi used the Human Dao Furnace to smelt it and the Nine Marvelous Undying Tree into Life Essence and Law Fragments.
• Nearly out of strength, Li Zhi entered the Life Divine Coffin and sent it toward the Ancient Beidou Star, where it became an asteroid orbiting beyond the realm.
• Luo Xingchen Severed Dao, reached King Second Heaven, and used Minor Achievement Star Plucking Hand to defeat ten Star Sect Living Fossils before becoming Sect Master.
• Luo Xingchen prepared a Star Falling Ceremony at the Star Sect's Ancient Star Gazing Platform and Star Falling Abyss.

Luo Xingchen used the Star Sect’s Fallen Star and his Star Plucking Hand to pull a mysterious, Life Essence-rich star from the Outer Realm Starry Sky. As rival powers fought over it, the star dimmed and a mysterious heartbeat sounded from within.

• The Star Sect’s history revealed that its Ancestor had created the Fallen Star from fragments of a mysterious star and that the Star Falling Ceremony drew treasures from beyond the realm.
• Luo Xingchen began the Star Falling Ceremony, used Star Plucking Hand to send a giant Starlight Hand beyond the Beidou World, and seized a mysterious star.
• Luo Xingchen pulled the star toward the Star Falling Abyss and ordered the Star Sect’s disciples to retreat as its Life Essence-rich golden flames descended.
• Hundreds of experts and more than ten Kings arrived and fought Luo Xingchen and the Star Sect’s forces for control of the star.
• The star’s light and Life Essence rapidly faded as a mysterious heartbeat sounded from within it.

A mysterious heartbeat inside a metal star core drew the Kings near the Star Sect, where they discovered a Golden Coffin and failed to seal it. A Golden Giant emerged from the coffin and asked where it was, while Lü Jian identified the Star Sect’s territory and risked drawing its ire.

• A heartbeat shook the battlefield and brought the Kings’ attention to a metal meteorite near the Star Sect, whose decaying surface shed poisonous rust.
• The Kings shattered the meteorite’s remaining Star Essence Gold and found a Golden Coffin made from Star Divine Gold at its core.
• Lü Jian argued that the object was likely natural Divine Gold Raw Ore, but the Kings’ attempts to seal it all failed.
• The Golden Coffin released a Mysterious Phantom that absorbed Heaven and Earth Essence and became a ten-zhang Golden Giant with the aura of a King’s Third Heaven.
• The Golden Giant asked where it was, and Lü Jian told it that it was in the Star Sect’s territory, alarming Luo Xingchen and the Star Sect cultivators.

Luo Xingchen withdrew the Star Sect from a confrontation over Star Divine Gold, and the Golden Giant annihilated the ten Kings before sending the sect a piece of the treasure. Li Zhi awakened, recovered and reforged his artifacts, then discovered why the Kirin Beast had slept for more than ten years.

• Luo Xingchen returned the Star Sect to its grounds and activated its Mountain Protection Array rather than risk the sect for the Star Divine Gold.
• The Golden Giant killed the ten Kings who attacked him with a single Heaven Flipping Divine Palm, reducing them to Tribulation Ash.

• Li Zhi fully awakened from the Life Divine Coffin, refined the remaining Star Divine Gold, and recovered his weakened body and Primordial Spirit in seven days.
• Li Zhi re-refined his four Dao Carrying Artifacts into King's Divine Weapons and improved the White Bone Immortal Slaying Saber during his retreat.
• Li Zhi examined the sleeping Kirin Beast and realized she was struggling to decipher Great Dao Runes from the Saint Spirit Essence Blood she had absorbed.

Li Zhi helped the Kirin Beast survive its tribulation and learned that its Saint Spirit bloodline had grown stronger. After they roasted a captured Flood Dragon, the Kirin Beast nervously asked whether Li Zhi would search its soul, leaving him to wonder what it had remembered.

• Li Zhi interrupted the Kirin Beast's analysis of its bloodline, awakening it and triggering a Heavenly Tribulation.
• The Kirin Beast tried to flee and cursed Li Zhi, but he shackled it in place until it endured four waves of thunder and recovered with his Life Essence.
• Li Zhi threatened to leave the Kirin Beast, but it clung to him, and he agreed to keep it with him.
• The Kirin Beast led Li Zhi to a lake, where he captured a Flood Dragon that had stolen Dragon Marrow from a Nine Li Divine Dynasty Dragon Lair.
• Li Zhi searched the Flood Dragon's soul, discovered the Nine Li Divine Dynasty was plotting something major, and erased the creature before he and the Kirin Beast roasted and ate it.
• The Kirin Beast asked Li Zhi whether he planned to search its soul, and he asked if it had remembered something else.

Li Zhi used the Kirin Beast’s recovered memories to locate and enter the Chaos Small World where it was born. After finding ancient fossils and discovering that the world’s creatures carried laws in their bodies, he restrained a White Feather Peacock that threatened the Kirin Beast.

• Li Zhi bound the White Feather Peacock with his Silver Dragon Dust Whisk and discovered that its laws and primordial spirit were merged with its body.

Li Zhi studied how Great Dao Laws fused with the bodies and spirits of cultivators and Holy Spirits, then followed the Kirin Beast to the Immortal Cave in search of the secrets behind the Feathered Emperor’s Holy Spirit Method. After comprehending the Dao for half a month, Li Zhi greatly strengthened his Great Dao but depleted much of the Small World’s Heaven and Earth Essence.

• Li Zhi examined the White Peacock’s memories, suppressed it, and learned the location of the Immortal Cave.
• The Kirin Beast stomped the White Peacock, objected to being called Little Yellow, and led Li Zhi to the cave where it had been born.
• Li Zhi found a Carved Diagram that had once shaped the Myriad Daos used to nurture the Kirin Beast and then brought the Kirin Beast to the Immortal Cave.
• Li Zhi read the Feathered Emperor’s inscriptions about seeking longevity through the Holy Spirit Method and sat down to comprehend the Dao.
• After half a month of cultivation, Li Zhi advanced from the early to the late stage of the King's Third Heaven, while his comprehension consumed thirty percent of the Small World’s Heaven and Earth Essence.

Li Zhi reflected on the different Longevity Paths pursued by ancient Emperors and began to discern a path of his own. Just as he was close to grasping it, the Kirin Beast interrupted him, triggering Li Zhi’s killing intent and leaving the beast terrified.

• Li Zhi considered the lifespans and Longevity Paths of Divine Emperor and other ancient Emperors, then began to form a Longevity Path of his own.
• Li Zhi concluded that one had to seek longevity while Severing Dao and create a path suited to oneself rather than simply imitate the methods in ancient scriptures.

• Li Zhi’s killing intent froze the space-time within a thousand li and annihilated every living creature there except the Kirin Beast.
• Li Zhi revived the Kirin Beast with Saint Spirit Blood Water, and the frightened beast offered to become his mount.

Li Zhi studied the Feathered Emperor’s research on becoming a Holy Spirit, then left the Chaos Small World with the Kirin Beast and carried away many of its special terrains. Months later, they visited Chaoyang City, where a dispute at a restaurant exposed the harsh treatment of mortals who could not cultivate.

• A mortal Girl barred the Kirin Beast from entering, but Li Zhi took it inside after a Divine Bridge Realm attendant apologized and explained the restaurant’s rules.
• The attendant told the Girl that mortals without cultivation lacked power and standing, while Li Zhi overheard their conversation and reflected on fairness.

After hearing that Ye Fan’s return had shaken the world, Li Zhi traveled to Divine City and reunited with his Four Great Maidservants. He announced his plan to establish a Dao Field in the Southern Domain, then revealed to Jade Pool Elder Tong that he had Severed Dao.

• Li Zhi told the Four Great Maidservants to say farewell to Jade Pool Elder Tong and revealed that he had chosen a site in Yan State near the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone for his Dao Field.
• Jade Pool Elder Tong recognized Li Zhi’s Kingly might and learned that he had successfully Severed Dao.

Li Zhi established a Dao Field near the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone by arranging seven Holy Spirit-filled Lands of Fortune into a Big Dipper formation and returning the Holy Spirit Flesh within them to Heaven and Earth. His ritual transformed the seven mountains into powerful cultivation grounds, drawing the attention of nearby cultivators and Primordial Royal Races, who considered visiting the mysterious master.

• After returning to the Southern Domain, Li Zhi sent the Four Great Maidservants to survey the land near the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone and chose a Lawless Zone 3,900 li east of it for his Dao Field.
• Li Zhi used the Earth Book's Mysterious Method to arrange seven terrains into a Big Dipper formation, buried Divine Sources containing Saint-level Holy Spirit remnants, and established a mountain-protection array.
• Li Zhi built temples across the new Dao Field, while the transformation's commotion attracted cultivators from Yan State and Primordial Era Creatures near the Forbidden Zone.
• Li Zhi drew down star essence and reversed the seven Holy Spirit Flesh remnants, releasing their Dao Rhythm and energy into the mountains and turning them into holy cultivation grounds.
• Kings from several Primordial Royal Races gathered outside the array, sensed its danger, and discussed visiting the Dao Field after it disappeared behind a curtain of light.

Li Zhi established his Great Dao throughout the Central Divine Mountain, suppressing other cultivators’ access to Heaven and Earth’s power. As Primordial Era elites arrived at his Dao Field, they found themselves facing the overwhelming authority of his Dao, and Li Zhi asked why they had come.

• Li Zhi spread his Great Dao Laws through the Central Divine Mountain, forming a vast Great Dao Pillar and entering deep enlightenment.
• Li Zhi discovered that his growing life force was accompanied by Primordial Killing Intent, which he poured into the Immortal Slaying Platform until it could absorb no more.
• Mengzhang told Li Zhi that Primordial Era Creatures had come to visit, and he invited them into the Dao Field.
• The visiting Primordial Era elites found their Great Dao Laws confined and could no longer draw power from Heaven and Earth as they climbed the Central Divine Mountain.
• Li Zhi dismissed Mengzhang and asked the gathered Primordial Era elites why they had come, leaving them silent under the pressure of his presence.

Li Zhi received Primordial Era Kings at his Dao Field, where they challenged him after mistaking his extraordinary aura for a bluff. He led them to the combat arena, offered incense to Heaven and Earth, and invited them to fight him together, leaving his maidservants anxious as the battle was about to begin.

• The Primordial Myriad Races sent spies and envoys to Li Zhi's Dao Field, where four Ancient Imperial Clan Kings greeted him and recognized an aura like that of an Ancient Emperor.

• The Four Great Maidservants worried about Li Zhi facing so many opponents, while Ren Shou remained unconcerned and ate banquet ingredients until Dongqing struck him; Mengzhang then asked why he had no worries.

Li Zhi killed twelve Primordial Era opponents in one stroke, then accepted gifts and hosted their allies at a banquet. The visiting races guessed that he was an Ancient Imperial Prince protected by a Quasi-Emperor, while Li Zhi’s Dao Field flourished and he used the sacrifices to steal their races’ Great Dao fortune.

• Seven Stars Dao Field transformed into a fertile cultivation ground, while Li Zhi’s sacrifice of the twelve opponents let him steal the Great Dao fortune of their races without incurring karma with Heaven and Earth.

Li Zhi completed the facilities in his Dao Field and prepared to seek the eighth Sea of Wheels Phenomenon, Immortal King Descends Upon Nine Heavens. Unable to envision an Immortal King's divine form, he concluded that he needed to visit Purple Mountain and study the Dao traces Great Emperor Wushi had left behind.

• Li Zhi's Dao Field aura improved the cultivation of its residents, awakened the White Deer's Divine Deer Bloodline, and helped it break through to Immortal Two.
• Li Zhi filled the Dao Field's Medicine Fields, built cultivation facilities and a Scripture Repository, then left his companions in seclusion and prepared to seek opportunities.
• Li Zhi attempted to cultivate Immortal King Descends Upon Nine Heavens but found that he could not imagine or outline the Immortal King's divine form.
• Li Zhi considered using Ruthless Great Emperor, Ye Fan, Great Emperor Wushi, Undying Heavenly Emperor, or Emperor Venerable as a model, but rejected the dangerous or unsuitable choices.
• Li Zhi chose to go to Purple Mountain to study Great Emperor Wushi's Dao traces, which he considered the best foundation for outlining an Immortal King.
